Resolve not to Regret – 5 Reasons to seize the day

December 31, 2011

As we consider what resolutions we will make in 2012 it is sobering to reflect on the regrets of those that have gone before us.

What will your new year's resolution be?

Bronnie Ware was a palliative nurse who cared for many people in the final weeks of their life. Over time, she compiled a list of their most commonly held regrets. Interestingly in each case people don’t regret things they have done but in fact regret things they have not done.

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

So as opportunities arise in 2012 let’s not be put off by the consequence of our actions but instead seize each day.

"Just a quick note to say thank you for an excellent day yesterday. I have had very positive feedback and you really did hit the mark for us. The tone, content and value of the day was exactly what I wanted."

Les O’Dea Operations Director Comic Relief

"In truth, I had expected a fun way for a fairly new group to get to know each other and perhaps, an exercise that could underline a point I had wanted to make. I did get all of that, but also got an approach that really simulated our organisational challenges and illustrated graphically how we might solve them. Excellent! "
